Red Canyon

One more day exploring red rock formations.  Dixie National Forest Powell ranger District includes a large red rock canyon and they have developed a nice network of trails to explore it.  It is kind of a mini version of the Utah National Parks, beautiful and amazing to look at and with maybe 1/10th the visitor traffic.  We walk about 8 miles total along a loop following Cassidy, Rich and ledge point trails passing through shaded side canyons, out on rocky points, among rock formations and winding through forested sections.  There are more trails but we are feeling done for the day.  If you are passing through on UT 12 heading for Bryce or Zion, it is worth at least a quick stop.
